Kojyu

Irina Abulashvili says:

Kojyu in Tokyo. Serves Kyoto style food...been there a long time ago, but still remember the taste of the fish in some special sauce. Then there's Zen restaurant in a few min from Shinagawa station. The one above is in Ginza.

The Chicken Place

Sushidai

It has to be Sushidai (築地 すし大) at Tsukiji Fish Market for the best sushi in the world!

Location: Tsukiji Fish Market

Sweets Paradise

Sweets Paradise! In Shibuya 90 min. To eat all the deserts you want!

Location: 1 4-5 Udagawacho Shibuya

Definitely The Lock Up, your "table" is a prison cell, and they are going to do their best to both scare the crap out of you, while arousing you with their hot wait staff!

Location: 33-1 Udagawa-cho

Ootoya

Tam Mie says:

Ootoya is my favourite. Modern ways of presenting Japanese food. Healthy meals and superbly easy on wallet. It is a chain restaurant so you can locate one in any train stations or town in Tokyo and its suburbs.

Location: Various

Try out some of the following suggestions...

Naomi Wilson says:

In Kyoto on Pontocho there is this great all you can eat and drink shabu shabu I can't remember the name.

Any izakaya is a great experience for the enormous variety in Japanese cuisine and any restaurant at Tsukiji market is amazing early in the morning for the best fresh sushi you can ever find in this world! Japanese food is high quality wherever you find it in the country. The best, I miss it so much.

Yum Yum Stefoo says:

I agree with tsukiji probably best place to eat super fresh sashimi... But they’re loads of restaurants with yummy food.

Piotr Balwierz says:

The best about Tokyo is that you can eat each day in a different restaurant some pretty different kind of food. And next to any metro station you will find something good. But for the best places you would need to ask the locals.
